Mr man, you don’t know what you are saying, Obiano did not debunk the funds he left, these funds are there, the investments are another different money all together, your hate for Peter Obi will get you no where. Why hasn’t effcc grilled him regarding the lies…

Misterone:
Oga, big fat lie! This has been disproved by his successor! How can you be calculating money you invested in a brewery as money left behind! What kind of accounting is that? Then you awarded contracts, you refuse to pay then calculate it as money left behind knowing fully well that those money have been spent! You refuse to pay workers minimum wage, then you say you save the money! Not even one community school was built. You went about taking pictures in seminary schools and claiming you've done well for education! How? Are seminary schools not private schools? Obi is really a criminal!

Misterone:
Stupid poll! Obi should end hardship how? How is he going to do it? Explain to us! You guys think we've forgotten that he was once a governor and he did nothing in Anambra state. Rubbish.

May kidnappers locate and kidnap you very soon so that you can support Tinubu very well

May God see to it

IMF with stupid advice. Werey.

Please, you tinubu supporters and APC supporters should not make me laugh today

Lagos alone has a budget less than 3 trillion naira, or about 2 billion dollars. Lagos is the same size as New York city. New York spends 10 billion dollars on the city police alone. 10 billion.

Our budget self...if we divide it among the 230 million nigerians...it can give us about 300000 naira for one year per nigerian. For one year, not monthly

Your tinubu is failing at raising the revenue of this country. That is why we dey borrow.

Anytime I hear all the millions dey call, I just dey laff. Millions in naira that is worthless to begin with.

All these noise you are just wasting your data cus I don't bloody care. You accept what I said or not I'm supporting Tinubu till 2035 and you know he will rule your a s s till 2035 so better stop shalaye that hold no ground..

Imf know say money dey Nigeria, even Nigerians know say money dey but tinubu fail to put a policy that will make idle fund mandatory to be reinvested for productivity and job employment, why is only banks earning highest all the time

Whoever paps the piper like they say…

Share this until it gets to those whom it may concern.

IMF leave Nigeria and Africa alone.

Your projection has been the reason why African countries economy have remained poor.
We don't want your financial and fiscal policy again.

The prosperity of the Nigerian populace is irritating to the Powers that Be

Tinubu should listen to the IMF and do it, and if he doesn't , whoever is taking over should listen to the IMF and do it, alongside fighting corruption

I know people will abuse me, and will call me names for my opinion, so let me drop some facts.

Our budget this year is: 68 trillion naira

Actual revenue available to fund this budget is : 33 trillion naira
Deficit: 35 trillion naira...and to cover that deficit, that is where the loans come in.

Yes, oil revenue rose, but remember that we have a debt of about 150 trillion naira to pay for.


People like to abuse me on this site and call me agbadoe, but if it was Peter Obi, or Atiku in charge, based on what I know, I would give them the same advice. We all shout that we want government to stop borrowing, but when it comes to measures to stop borrowing, we suddenly become allergic to good advice


Tinubu is a bad leader, and I am not voting for him next year, by the way.


Nigeria has had this deficit problem for decades. Everytime earnings do not meet up with the budget, meaning we have to borrow. This is because of the fact that we rely on resources WHOSE PRICES WE DO NOT SET. We cannot set oil above the international price to fund our budget because our buyers will go and meet the cheaper option. Back when we had cotton, cocoa, palm oil, same thing. (Ghana some years ago raised prices of its cocoa to meet up with budget funding and buyers went to other countries, Nigeria included, to buy cheaper stuff).

Most of the rich and poor do not pay taxes, only people in formal employment pay PAYE taxes, and revenue from VAT was about 8 trillion naira , plus revenue from bank charges was around 4 trillion naira...for this budget.

And the 68 trillion naira is not enough for a nation of 230 million people. You can abuse me, but we are too big for the budget. And that budget is the money available before stealing and looting happens.

Y'all can abuse me, but we have to face cold reality.

Either we start listening to the IMF and fighting corruption, as well as improving taxation, or else, even if we vote Obi tomorrow, as i hope we all do, or Atiku tomorrow, or even Sowore, I guarantee that our debt would be 800 trillion naira in eight years time.


You are free to abuse me and call me names now, thank you. I no longer care.



If una no wan hear, then that means you should stop complaining about borrowing, because refusal to support improved taxation and anti-corruption measures means you support borrowing.

Again, I am voting for Obi next year, and in reality, I don't care about all your politicans. IF Obi fails, out he goes in four years, and so forth, until we get sane leadership. Maybe we go wait till the debt is 10000 trillion naira before we get our own MIlliei and LKY...it took Argentina to get into such severe debt that it was defaulting on payments, for them to wake up. Now their currency is strong and fiscal performance better, and eventually other areas will improve.

Who is fighting corruption? NNPCltd embezzled Trillions of Naira, while we're owing less than the stolen amount.Very soon it would be swept under the carpet,then citizens will be suffocated in the name of sacrifice, why haven't the IMF adviced Tinubu to go hard on the looters in Nigeria? only taxation, taxation, taxation. Politicians are earning more than the working presidents in the world doing nothing, but poor masses are to sacrifice for the country, vote wisely

But this government has removed fuel subsidy and subsidy on electricity. Taxes have increased. There is taxes on calls and other telcom services. This Government have also borrowed more than all successive government. The looting is going on uninterrupted. This government is wasting resources. What happened to the coastal of #15trn-#16trn awarded? What has Tinubu achieved with all the subsidy money, taxes, borrowing, etc.
Just list is achievements that will make people to pay more taxes?
Instead of the government to stop looting and corruptions in the system by strengthening the system technologically to reduce corruption. IMF and World Bank are gaining from Nigeria corruptions. They borrow Nigeria money with heavy interest, join Nigeria government to force Nigeria to pay more taxes. Project fees or contracts are being inflated and given to cronies. Many end up collecting money and refuse to do the projects.

I support Teenubu to tax Nigerians on everything, for years nigerians have been getting away without paying their taxes.


Tinubu till 2031! On his mandate we stand! Emilokan! Mandate! Jagaban mandate!! We stand!

If there is one president capable of truly fixing Nigeria's income problem, it is Tinubu. Before voting Obi, look at his antecedent of increasing IGR in 8 freaking years by only 20%(2006-2014). you are asking a F- student to replace a C student because you want A student. Obi is a miserly, which is not what we need. A man earning 100,000 naira with 8 kids and 2 wives real need is not to begin to find ways to cut spending and save money, he has to be on an aggressive hunt to increase his income geometrically, although he also needs to cut cost regardless. I understand your sentiment about income, and i have the same believe. Nigerians are so fixated on how large politicians live that they dont realise how measly our income is compared to our infrastructural need, and i know why.

Oga ooo, we already paying some hidden taxes already, the government trying to force this country into anarchy

[quote author=nairalanda1 post=139715770]

Okay, I didn't expect you to agreement with me

This is not about agreeing, dis is about prescribing "cut off the head" becos of headache ... I am saying you & IMF are completely wrong postulating the way forward for Nigeria is incessant " Taxation"

You can tax a flourishing economy not a Mal nourish economic, thats why people don't see impact despite the increased revenue
What nourishes the economy to reflect impact is " maximize productivity & high GDP" ... Tax can never prosper a nation

I guess you support the usual borrowing to fund the budget then. It's your opinion, no disrespect. The problem is, it will worsen the debt and lead to the probelms you fear

bro don't speak for, infact many Nigerians and myself are against Tinubu excessive " Borrowing" ... the govt are just " Lazy headed" ... Since Tinubu became president what production have we scaled up .. Is it crude, is power, even gas we have not maximize & explores natural resources God given to us up to 60% nd we are crying low Revenue ... very funny

Govt just want quick easy money ..so we see loan, Tax, and levies as fast express ignoring the ripple effects n setbacks

And as I said, we should fight corruptioon at the same time, before you start.

I can be idealist but i am more of a realist, forget any fight to end corruption, lets face whats feasible ... we need to that seeing Our natural resources as a way Out, we need to start acting like we know we blessed with resources

As develop as Turkey is they among all there neibors dont have crude, and they don't even hide there pain they don't have crude, Buh look at Nigeria we get crude yet we are at the mercy of external forces ,..abeggi jare

Misterone:
Stupid poll! Obi should end hardship how? How is he going to do it? Explain to us! You guys think we've forgotten that he was once a governor and he did nothing in Anambra state. Rubbish.

Life is all about giving people chances to prove themselves because we have given Tinubu chance and he disappoints badly so are you telling us we should continue to stick with him or try another people until we get it right, leave tribe or religion out of this because we all want the same thing as a citizen of Nigeria 🇳🇬 a better and safe nation were our children will grow up and have a future.

Ofunaofu:
Nigerians, be warned: if Tinubu secures a second term, these IMF-recommended taxes will be next.

On his first day

God punish IMF

ikeno:
IMF and world bank,deceived you to remove fuel subsidy, devalue the naira so that your citizens will be impoverished so your government will have enough money to embezzle,you were happy believing you and your political thieves are set for life but you forget that whenever the devil gives you something he takes more in return.

Now IMF is holding you by the jugular because they have render the naira worthless and knows you will keep running back to them for loan.

You have taxed everything taxable that the only thing for Nigeria citizens is the air we are breathing, just hope you no go tax that one too. Nonsense government

Do you that IMF also deceived Malawi to destroy their agriculture sector in exchange for loans?
Leading to food shortages....
Some IMF apologists will not want to go there...

The economy is not about the price of rice and beans! It's far more than that! Tinubu has done well.

Google is your friend! Use it

It's not only in Nigeria. It's everywhere

Tommydare:
And what is Tinubu doing currently? Gas is now 2000, petrol is 1000plus,food and house rent on the rise everyday, no jobs, nothing. Just tax, tax, tax. Upon all the taxes and subsidy removal, there is no significant changes. The worst president by far.

Misterone:

I believe you voted that Tinubu should govern your corpses

shegoon:
Sentiments apart! I am a Yoruba man,the person you claimed built Lagos has destroyed the country with useless and needless policies.

Tell me a former Lagos governor who didn't perform? This is because it's the former country capital territory and the structure was already on ground, smaller geographical land mass,IGR, infrastructure and other factors.

Former osun state governor Aregbesola worked with Tinubu for years before he became governor but couldn't deliver in osun because of the large geographical mass land size, poor IGR and no existing infrastructure on ground to develop on, unlike Lagos state.These are the challenges been faced by other states in the country.

If Obi and Tinubu should swap state as a governor,it would amount to same performance metric you want to see.

Opinion is like an asshole! Everybody has got one

Una dey see am? INEC can NEVER manipulate REAL POLLS on or offline!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Kennitrust:
who did you quote that you have to mention Obi on a matter that has nothing to do with Peter.

Did you dream Peter Obi last night?

Una no reach!

But you're comfortable with how your Tinubu is ending, or in fact has already ended hardship?

philos:
But you're comfortable with how your Tinubu is ending, or in fact has already ended hardship?

Oga, hardship will always be with us! Even in the US, a developed country with so much benefits, there are citizens that are homeless and beggarly! Yet Nigerians with all the restrictions go there and make it! What does that tells you?

The IMF advised put Nigerian in the mess we are in today, they didn’t advise him to ensure adequate provision of electricity and security

Why African leaders think IMF nations who denied you some benefits,will then form an organizations to loan you money with economy policies and and conditions attached , believe this IMF means well for you is worrisome, look at the rate of dollar to Naira before and after the advice?

wonder233:
The western masters have spoken. The African puppet will swiftly implement, and you can't do jack about it.
They have put you on notice by publishing the news.

Someone criticised the poll up there. The wording of the second option is a bit too direct, but unfortunately true. During Buhari's 8years, northerners reacted like you committed blasphemy if you dared criticise Buhari. While the southwesterners taunted you for belonging to the other tribe. Together, they held down blind support for that failed government.
Today, southwesterners are staunchly defending based on tribe.
So, the country can never be good. The division is too much...and what is the division over? Meaningless tribal affiliation.
The Blackman is truly a subhuman...imagine people believing the delusion that they came from somewhere and that somehow means something

Bro when are you running for president...... We need hard words like what you have said

Misterone:
Stupid poll! Obi should end hardship how? How is he going to do it? Explain to us! You guys think we've forgotten that he was once a governor and he did nothing in Anambra state. Rubbish.

Have you ever been to Anambra State? No

What do you know about the State? Nothing.


If he did nothing, how come he remains the most popular governor from that state? Even more popular that the current governor, Soludo who is even an ex-CBN Governor?


I know you guys can’t think deep, at least just make the attempt, it doesn’t hurt.

IMF, WORLD BANK, WEF, WHO, UN ETC ARE ALL USING NIGERIA AS AN EXPERIMENTAL TESTING GROUND FOR ALL THEIR BAD/EVIL POLICIES, THAT IS WHY THEY RIGGED OUR ELECTIONS TO PRODUCED BAD AND USELESS LEADERS, SPONSORED BOKO HARAM AND BANDITS TO ENSURE THAT NOTHING GOOD COME OUT OF NIGERIA
